Activists in Scotland demand that the ceasefire be the first step to freedom and justice for Palestinians
Activists march in Glasgow

ACTIVISTS across Scotland have demanded that the Gaza ceasefire be the first step to freedom and justice for the Palestinian people and an end to Israeli apartheid.

As their comrades marched in London on Saturday, activists marched through the streets of Glasgow and once again picketed the offices of Barclays Bank in Edinburgh, while in Aberdeen they took the message of solidarity into its commercial heart.

Campaigners rallied outside the city’s Bon Accord shopping centre, before marching and festooning its atrium with Palestine flags.
